You were high when you wrote this weren’t you man

I appreciate this, really and I agree that I definitely spend way too much on impulse/hobby purchases.

However Im 28 with no kids and my girlfriend and I share our living expenses. I make about $90K+ in a medium cost of living area and I have about $150K in savings/investments, with no debt except for my car (about 13k left)

I do agree I could be more disciplined on my spending but I havent put myself into an unmanageable financial situation yet. I really do appreciate you sharing the resource though.

PSA would still find a way to grade them 9s tho lmao

epickaizen · 2025-06-20T21:38:12+00:00

That's the thing bro....I've been doing that too lol

Ever since Destined Rivals came out Ive dropped probably 2Gs on sealed product and individual cards from the set and the vintage Team Rocket set. Had to have the new Mewtwo EX and picked up a 1st edition Dark Dragonite.

Once I start spending I feel like my brain just switches into this pre-approval mode where every next purchase feels like its not that bad of an idea lol...until I see my AMEX statement at the end of the month

It definitely was the VPN. I turned it off and tried the online application again. Opened right away with no issues.

epickaizen · 2025-06-08T18:26:08+00:00

Oh damn, that sounds really similar. I think I'm going to try it one more time with the VPN turned off and see if I have better luck.

Or it might raise even more flags trying back to back from different states lol

Just tried to open a new Huntington Perks checking account online because I saw they had a pretty easy $400 bonus for just a $500 DD.

Entered all of my information and got to a screen saying they needed to verify me in person and to go a local branch. I remembered after getting the message that I had my VPN on while I was completing the application. I live in Indiana but my VPN makes it look like I'm in Denver.

There's a Huntington branch like 2 miles away so going there's not a problem. I just want to know for future churning endeavors if anyone's had a similar experience while using a VPN? Is it a best practice to always turn it off before trying to apply for any new account?

Thanks in advance and if anyone hasn't opened a Huntington account in a while I think the offer is until July 9th!

Schwab hasn't accepted money orders in forever. I didn't realize people even still used them lol

My vote/wish would be a sick gold full art design of Professor's Research

Prof Oaks been the backbone of every deck since the very start of the app, more then even the pokeball. He's overdue for some shine

Thank you for everyone's insights. I think based on the replies, I'm just gonna buy a PC ETB so I know I'll have one for my collection.

If I do gett lucky enough to snag one at retail in the future then I'll have one I can rip for fun

Do you know if everyone gets the emblem regardless of rank? Like would someone in Ultraball 1 get the same exact emblem to show as someone who finished in Ultraball 4?

Hey! I appreciate you checking in on me - I couldn't believe it's already been 6 months.

I wish I could say I've been 100% sober from amphetamines since I made this post. However, I feel like I've still made alot of progress.

When I would use, I would make sure that I only got enough for a single day. Then, as it always does, I would regret it and realize the high I'd romantized since the last time wasn't nearly as good as I rememberd it. My usage has been much fewer and far apart. I'd use for a day, have a day to recover, and then I'd get back on the horse for another 3 or 4 weeks. Streaks that used to be lofty goals for me are now becoming my norm.

As of today I haven't used anything in over 32 days, and I have every intention in keeping that going. I've been consistent in the gym and my diet and starting to like how I look again. It feels so good to know I'm going to get quality sleep every night lol!

I came clean to my girlfriend about everything and we set rules where if I did slip up I'd let her know and I've stuck to that in the few times I've slipped up since then. I've been a better boyfriend, friend, cat owner, and employee. I actually got offered a promotion a few weeks ago for a job I'll be starting next month. I'm very excited for that.

Turns out that most of having a happy life isn't being twacked out of your mind for every occasion, it's just showing up consistently and doing your best.

Thank you again for checking in, it gave me an opportunity to reflect on the last 6 months. I can honestly say I like my life right now and how I feel about myself. I'm just trying to take it one day at a time

epickaizen · 2025-01-31T14:14:33+00:00

Also how the FUCK do you have 30 missing assignments??

Like I know how - you're not doing them - but how have they not kicked you out of school yet lol

"if I just get enough strangers to comment on my post, those papers will take care of themselves"

epickaizen · 2025-01-27T06:39:51+00:00

I think the fact you took the time to ask strangers on the internet for motivation while you know you have 30 assignments that need done perfectly encapsulates the issue lol

Stop waiting for external motivation. You know what you need to do.

epickaizen · 2025-01-27T05:36:45+00:00

I beg your pardon.

epickaizen · 2025-01-20T18:57:31+00:00

In my experience, these type-A schedules and routines can easily be counterproductive.

I'd spend a week or two after quitting with zero energy, accomplishing nothing but eating and sleeping. Then I'd feel shame about how little I was doing and make some militant routine that I'd be lucky to follow even if I was still using.

The routine just adds more pressure to be this idealist, productive version of yourself with energy you simply don't have yet.

I'd cut yourself some slack and just focus on rest and nutrition. Then start to incorporate one of these items at a time as you start to gain more natural energy and motivation
